Kauravakunda camping and sunrise trek 18th-19th May 2019

Sunrise trek and camping at the historical epitome of serenity - Kaurava Kunda. 18th - 19th May 2019

Camping and Campfire fun
Kauravakunda is a less known yet an amazing weekend getaway destination located around 90km  from bangalore. This place in monsoon and post monsoon surely gives the feel of Switzerland for its chilling weather and a magnificent sunrise view from the peak. Mostly preferred for night treks, this venture is considered to be the best to witness sunrise and sunset.



However, as we proceed towards the summit, thousands of lights scattered across the terrain will make the arduous climb spectacularly worthwhile. Away from the usual city hustle, the bonfire accompanied by the star gazing with endless conversations with our friends will grant the peace and composure that we have been seeking.

At the Base with an astounding background view 

Previous batch

As the sun rises, the magnanimous view of the village and neighboring hillocks are bound to take our breath away. Taking in the full spectrum of nature's sight, we ill explore the area and descend back to the base.



Ensure wearing shoes with good grip and comfortable dressing during the journey.
